Geography
editMonterosi's territory is located halfway through between Rome and Viterbo along the Via Cassia, on the north-Easter foot of the Sabatine Hills, not far from Lake Bracciano. Within its borders lies the small Monterosi lake, legacy of a now-extinct volcanic activity in the region.
Monterosi borders the following municipalities: Nepi, Sutri, Trevignano Romano.
Ancient Religion
editMonterosi was the location of one of the two known shrines of the Roman god Mutunus Tutunus.[4]
